Glasgow 1245.23-4-05 Update
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, April 17, 2005 10:36 AM
Well,I don't know about everyone else but I'm still on dial up.My telephone exchange is in a field with loads of sheep!
This is why I've started a new topic.Too many pictures,too much time to download.
We've completed the top deck and sort of shaped the roof.I've now realized that it is too tall but we've had enough of windows so it's staying as it is.
To enhance the shape and get rid of the wood look ,we have started to add the panel definition.This is done using plastic strips.This is really tedious after the first side so Emily opted out and left it to me.
After this it's an undercoating week.At least 10 coats.The roof is going to be a major problem as there should be rooflights.



In latest picture the exterior painting has almost been finished and internal work has started.If you click on the picture to enlarge it you will notice that Captain Carrales has let me use his music band logo.I like to make my own adverts.More personal and fun.

Thank you for the ad, it means alot. I have not started on that "Ironic" structure we discussed, but when it is complete I think everyone will chuckle.

Your work is excellent, as always, I wish I was at the stage where I could build from that level of expertise. You can bet I'm taking an analytical look at your style.

Outstanding work!!
